This documentary explores the exciting world of Kendo.  Kendo is perhaps the most interesting of the Japanese Martial Arts.  It is the study and practice of samurai swordsmanship. However, far from being an ancient or antiquated pursuit, modern Kendo is a lightening fast, full contact, combat sport.  In Japan, Kendo is taught as part of a school's curriculum and is practiced by men and women of all ages.  However, in Britain Kendo is devoutly practiced by less than a thousand individuals from diverse backgrounds.  It is these brave and dedicated Martial Artists who will bring the grueling story of the British National Kendo Squad's preparations of this year's World Championships to the screen.  The World championships are being hosted by the British and the battle lines will be drawn in Glasgow, Scotland.  This film, which has exclusive access to the British Squad and exclusive footage of the World Championships, tells a human story of a handful of western athletes who have chosen an innately eastern path to follow in life.  Like the Jamaican bobsleigh team, the Brits have never been expected to conquer the likes of the Japanese and Koreans.
